Festival of Barrel Aged Beers

The Festival of Barrel & Wood-Aged Beers (FoBAB) is this planet’s largest celebration of wood and barrel-aged beer, highlighting styles of beer that have been aged in a wooden barrel or in contact with wood.

Virtue Cider is proud to not only have ciders entered in the competition this year, but to also be a sponsor for this year's edition.

#FoBAB celebrates the brilliance of barrel-aging beer on wood, and is orchestrated by the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild (#ICBG). This nationally recognized beer festival also features The National Wood Aged Beer Competition. Wood and barrel-aged beers are submitted from around the world and are professionally judged by industry leaders and certified judges.
